When struggling modern romance author Aelin Vance chases a glowing light into a provincial forest, she expects inspiration—not a rift into the magical realm of Eloria. Completely devoid of magic, Aelin relies on her knowledge of fantasy tropes to survive a world of fairy magic and shadowy beasts, only to end up in the quiet village home of Elowen. To the locals, Elowen is merely a brooding, handsome woodcutter. In truth, he is Eloria’s god-like High Sovereign, hiding in self-imposed exile while his jealous stepbrother, Prince Isolde, secretly plots a palace coup.To protect Aelin without exposing his identity, Elowen assigns her Feyre—a dramatic, sugar-addicted sprite—as her guide and bodyguard. As dark forces creep closer, Aelin must navigate magical politics, her own dormant star-ether power, and her growing feelings for the mysterious villager who keeps saving her life.
